2(x - 4) + 2x = 18, where x represents the width.

2x - 8 + 2x = 18 (Distribute 2)

4x - 8 = 18 (Add like terms)

4x = 26 (Add 8 to both sides)

x = 6.5 (Divide 4 from both sides)

Length = x - 4 (Length is 4 less m than Width [x - 4])

6.5 - 4 = 2.5 (Substitue in x)

Length = 2.5

The length is 2.5 meters and the width is 6.5 meters.

You can check by adding 2.5 + 2.5 + 6.5 + 6.5 = 18.

if f(x) = 4 – x2 and g(x) = 6x, which expression is equivalent to (g – f)(3)? a: 6 – 3 – (4 3)2 b: 6 – 3 – (4 – 32) c: 6(3) – 4
jolli1 [7]
F(x) = 4 - x^2
g(x) = 6x
(g - f)(x) = 6x - (4 - x^2)
(g - f)(3) = 6(3) - (4 - 3^2) = 6(3) - 4 + 3^2

How to solve the integral of a square root function?
Step2247 [10]
That is a very good question


Look Wade...

If you faced it in the form (x^2+a)^0.5 , you would use the substitution of x=a*tan(y)


If you faced it in the form (x^2-a)^0.5 , you would use the substitution of x=a*sec(y)

If you faced it in the form (a-x^2)^0.5 , you would use the substitution of x=a*sin(y) or even x=a*cos(y)

It would be better if you provided an example ...

I am with you if you faced any difficulties!
